Summary

Dewey Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in San Gabriel, California, serving 361 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Garvey Elementary School District, which is ranked 430 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Dewey Avenue Elementary faces several challenges compared to nearby schools and district averages. Its academic performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the Garvey Elementary District and the state of California. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 39.23% of Dewey Avenue students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 55.86% for the district and 48.81% for the state. Similarly, only 33.18% of Dewey Avenue students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 51.85% for the district and 37.3% for the state. The school also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and has a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, Dewey Avenue Elementary's performance for English Language Learner students is a relative strength, with the school ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $14,732 in the 2020-2021 school year to $19,972 in the 2023-2024 school year, which may help address some of the challenges the school faces.
